JOIN USBrown became increasingly annoyed by the line of questioning, telling Roberts, "This album is what I want them to talk about, not what happened two years ago."
After the chat, the singer, who is on probation and had to complete anger management classes, reportedly flew into a rage and hurled a chair at his dressing room window, prompting worried staff members to call security.
GMA producers have since defended Roberts' stance during the interview, calling the questions put to the singer "relevant and newsworthy" but Brown insists he only agreed to talk about his music and was not ready to discuss his legal problems, Contactmusic reported.
Opening up about the incident during an appearance on Bet's 106 & Park show, Brown claimed he felt ambushed, but is ashamed of the way he handled the fall out.
"First of all, I just wanna apologise to anybody who was startled in the office, anybody who was offended or really disappointed in my actions, because I was disappointed with the way I acted.
"A lot of people don't know what went down, and obviously when I do shows or when I do interviews, we always send out a talking point sheet... As the interview proceeded, it was kinda thrown off. I was thrown off by it. I felt like they told us this just so they could get us on the show so they can exploit me...
"And when I got back (stage) I just let off steam. I didn't physically hurt anyone, I didn't try to hurt anyone, I just wanted to release the anger that I had inside me because I felt that I worked so hard for this music and... I felt like people kept just trying to take it away from me. So yes, I got very emotional, and I wanna apologise for acting like that."
Brown has pleaded with his fans not to take their anger out on presenter Roberts.
"Do not send any threats, anything like that, I've been hearing things on Twitter... We need to take a stand and... focus on the more positive things in life.
